![South Turkey on Film
The last video from the Turkey segment of our holiday: travelling west from Antalya to Fethiye and passing through various landmarks along the way, before circling back to Antalya. This included serene mountain areas, as well as Kaş when we headed back to Antalya along the beautiful south coast.
